The architectural form, materials and detailing of this outbuilding are interesting. The quality of the stone dressings is particularly notable. An unusual feature of the outbuilding is the inscription of 'P. Wilson Builder' on the carriage arch. This outbuilding forms part of an interesting group with the related structures to the site.
